St Mary's Northcote Marian Prayer Garden
Help St Mary's School Northcote raise funds to develop a beautiful garden space dedicated to Mary.
Auckland
St Mary's School Northcote requests the help of our community to raise funds for a newly commissioned ceramic tile icon of Our Lady and Child Jesus. This beautiful piece of art and the surrounding Marian prayer garden will create a contemplative space dedicated to Mary - an outward symbol of our special Catholic character, and a focal point for our school, parish and community to gather in faith.
Our school grounds have changed dramatically in the last few years, with new innovative learning spaces, turf playgrounds and modern paint colours all contributing to a fresh, exciting feeling in the school. Through this project, we want to ensure that our school is visibly a place where our faith is at the forefront.
Sponsorship packages for donations over $500 are available by arrangement - email fundraising@sms.school.nz for more information.
